My Blue Bag

Came on Christmas Eve. I found it sitting in it's shipping box on the sidewalk after I had been shoveling for 10 minutes. I am not sure how I didn't see it sooner. Well here is a picture of me wearing it. :) I love my bag!

Also, for Xmas i got a cell phone holder that Velcros to the strap. It rocks.

Dread Boy

01 Matt and I were playing around with slow and fast shutter speeds last night.
I made him swing his dreads around for me.
Here is one of my favorite pictures I took of him.
:)

Chrome

I just bought a new bag!
I am excited!!!
:)

Here is a picture of it...
not my photography.
I will post a better picture once I receive it.

So, It is made by a company called CHROME
This is there smallest messenger bag, the Mini-Metro
I bought it on eBay...
because the company doesn't manufacture this color anymore.
Royal/Black Stripe
I called them and asked and everything.
They were really nice though!

More Days with Nikon

01 It has been going good, I haven't taken as many pictures as I would have liked. Not that much interesting at my home to take pictures of, other than the little kids of course :) Here are 3 more pictures I have taken over the past few days.

Day 1 Nikon

01

My first night with the D200 went well :)
I started reading the Field Guide that Bryan put in the bag with the camera.
Here are two of the pictures that I took :)

Edit: Another picture from Day 1

Nikon D200

I am going to have one to play with for the next few days (Saturday until Wednesday) and I am extremely excited!

I can't wait!

Bryan is Awesome!

I will be posting lots and lots of pictures in the next few days :)

Snowflake Hat

01

I made a new hat yesterday :)
it is white and reminds me of a snowflake

I made another new hat today that is green and black striped
but I haven't taken a picture of it yet.
I still need to add finishing touches.

Here is a picture of the white one!

Finally figuring things out.

01 School has gotten so screwed up again. It seems like every time something is going really good, something happens that gets in the way. I have missed so many days now that i have been unenrolled from BHS.

Finally figuring things out.

01 School has gotten so screwed up again. It seems like every time something is going really good, something happens that gets in the way. I have missed so many days now that i have been un-enrolled from BHS. which i suppose is ok, because it means that with all my classes that i would have ended up with F's in, wont end up on my report card.... a good thing.

I finally decided what I am going to do about school. I am going to finish up the year at Cedar, and then during the summer (and possibly sooner) i am going to work on taking the ACT's the SAT's and work on getting my GED and then second semester next year I am planning on starting college. I really hope this works well.

As soon as school gets out this year, i am also planning on working full time at the Portrait studio that i am currently employed at, and i plan on continuing to work there throughout college.

It feels really good to finally have a plan for what i am going to do about school... these past 2 months have been really stressful for me.

Peyote Stitches

01 I decided to try my hand at peyote stitches tonight... they are fun, yet tedious to make. I am really happy with how they turned out! Here are pictures! The first one pictured is my Gemini and clouds one :) I like it a lot. It has a few problems, but that is alright, it was only my second one. The second one pictured is my first one that I made.

Cookie _ _ _ _ _

01 I need to find my gingerbread cookie recipe! I think I have a copy in my mom's recipe file thing, but she doesn't know where it is right now :(

I want to make cookies!

One Moment

01

Have you ever had a moment
where everything seemed so simple
where one thought
changed the way you were looking at everything
where one thought
can help you figure out a month's worth of worrying.

I had a moment like that last night.
It changed everything.
and i think it made everything a little bit better.


shed light
on this

dry eyes
or tears
to shed

which way
to go

I choose
my road.

---------------------------------------------

Is the the right road?

Shuffle Once
Cut the deck Once.
Top Card & Bottom Card

Top: 4 of wands
Withdrawal from an activity. Rest.
Completion of and undertaking.
Maturing

Bottem: 5 of Chalices
Satisfied Desires. Enthusiasm.
Reconciliation.
Amorous encounters. Eroticism.
Beauty. Contract. Precious Gift.


That definitely answers my question. I am glad that I made the decision that I did. I think things will be for the better this way. I am sorry it took me so long to come to this conclusion.

I love you.

Two Things.

01

We are...
And
I am not...


That is all.

Christmas List

01 Blueberry candle
Chocolate Covered cherries
Jelly Belly Jelly Beans

Hidden Posts

01 I decided today to make some of my posts hidden. If people want to read them, that is ok... it's just that I want to know who reads them... if that makes any sense.

I got the phone call that i had been waiting for... Things are a bit better now. Thank You for calling, you know who you are.

EDIT: Posts are not hidden anymore.

More numbers...

01

11-22-07
11 and 22 are both devine numbers.
20 days
7:32pm
7 and 32...

Accepting the current circumstances just as they are is your key to happiness.

Thank you for calling.
Thank you for being my friend...

If I wern't

01

A Vegetarian.

I realized that sometimes I miss eating meat,
because it limits the amount of new foods I have the chance to try.

For Him...

01

Shuffle 3 Times
Cut the Deck Once
Draw the top card:

2 of Wands
Separation. Regret.
Unexpected Event


...maybe...

Pictures Of My Nephews

01

Here are a few of the pictures
that I took of my Nephews
when I brought them into my work
and did Christmas pictures

I love these so much!

:)

Swim Suit...

01

The swimsuit i fell in love with today... :)
They didn't have the size i needed though...
XS was too a bit too tight.
Plus it is $128
So I probably wouldn't have bought it even if they had my size


Matt thinks it makes me look funny... :(

So... What Now?

01

Shuffle 3 times
Cut the Deck 3 different ways
Draw the top card:

The Fool
Chaos. Haste. Breathlessness. Loss.
Rebellion against conventions.
New Experiences. Rash action. Effort

I still Need more insight...
Draw Bottom Card:

Knave of Pentacles
Dark haired young man. Need for intellectual effort.
Uncertain promotion. Lightness.
Costly extravagance. Loss at gambling.



I know I shouldn't rush into anything right now, but everything in me is telling me I need to do something. If I do rush into this before I know all of the whys, won't the outcome just be the same...I feel like I know what I want, but in the end what will the cost be? It would all be easier if the Dark haired young man would answer his stinking phone.

New Website

01 I am starting to work on a new website... a companion site for my blog hopefully. Something that has the same layout... if i can figure out the coding to make my ideas a reality it will be really cool... hopefully :)

Call Him...

01

I've got some stuff that has been on my mind constantly lately, and i have been debating on whether or not to make a phone call to a specific friend... i grabbed my tarot deck and used the numbers that have been showing up constantly as part of my shuffling the cards... here were the results.

shuffle 7 times
cut the deck 3 times
Draw top card:
The Lovers

Indecision, A Painful Choice. Physical attraction.
Infatuation. Elegance. Coquetry. Artistic Sense. Love Triangle

One Reason:
11-3-07


I think i have a phone call to make...

Damn my indecisiveness and infatuation with numbers and oracles...



EDIT: I made the phone call... no answer. I left another message.

Decided to draw the second card in the pile of my tarot cards...
It was calling to me, Turns out to be:

7 of boulders
Worry. Impatience. Distrust.
Desire for and fear of exposure and love

...Had to be a seven...

DAMN NUMBERS!

Morbid Series Photoshoot

01 This is a Photoshoot that I modeled for to help you my friend Stephanie and her friend Brian.... It was fun, and extremely amusing.

If you want to see any of the pictures larger, just click on them. :)

323 Days.

01 323 days, 2 hours, 48 minutes and 20 seconds can be converted to one of these units:

* 27,917,300 seconds
* 465,288 minutes (rounded down)
* 7754 hours (rounded down)
* 46 weeks (rounded down)


So, that is how long i have had my dreads for. The start time is calculated from the time that my first picture with a full head of dreads was taken at.

I can't believe how incredibly much my dreads have changed since i got them! CRAZY!

I love them more and more each day.

First Entry

01 My back is still driving me crazy. It hurts, it is stiff and it sucks. I hate that this had to go and happen when everything was finally going really good. School was good. Work was good. Life was good. Now I feel like everything is falling to pieces again. Like i can't do anything right.

School is all messed up now, because i can't even think/focus enough to get any of the work done that my teachers have been nice enough to get together for me. My grades were all A's and B's. Now, i don't know if i am going to be able to get them back up there by the end of the semester. UGH

Other stuff has been getting screwed up as well. LIFE! UGH!
